ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the long-term results of complex and conversion total hip replacement surgeries. The researchers want to understand how these surgeries affect patients over time, particularly focusing on their mobility and overall quality of life. To do this, they will review past medical records and conduct follow-up visits to gather information from patients about their experiences and any changes they may have noticed since their surgery.

To be eligible for the study, participants should be between the ages of 65 and 74 and must have had a total hip replacement done by a UNC Health-affiliated doctor at least five years ago, or a more complicated version of the surgery at least ten years ago. Participants need to be comfortable communicating in English and willing to share their health information with the research team. If you join this study, you can expect to provide feedback about your health and well-being, which will help doctors understand the effectiveness of these surgeries over the years.
